Activity Measurement

Activity is a measure of the amount of radionuclide(s) in a material emitting ionising radiation. Activities in samples are measured in Becquerel. Berthold offers several instruments for alpha-beta or gamma counting. Especially for environmental samples or wipe tests there are low or even very low detection limits required. Our low-level counters meet these requirements. They use special background reduc­tion techniques, selected detector materials and lead shieldings to provide excellent MDAs. There are also other instruments for instance for food moni­toring.
